Late registration is just the college dropout 2. Better performances betters productions better skits better basically everything. This will always be his best album and quite possibly the best album of all time
This is why I love music and Kanye’s discography specifically. There’s never been an artist where almost every body of work produced can be considered a favorite to a different person (except maybe his most recent works). I’ve heard people say graduation is revolutionary, MBDTF is the best album ever made, and tons of people love Drop out and late registration. Then there’s 808’s which has inspired an entire generation and yeezus is also seeming more inspirational by the day. TLOP is also a favorite to a lot of younger Kanye fans.

that's the genius of kanye that i just love - his involvement on producing his own tracks and sampling in the way he did really set a trend for hip hop in the years after. songs you could never consider being sampled he seems to flip so well into crafting a blend of so many different sounds. truly a one of a kind artist
As you move from Late Registration to Graduation, please bear this in mind: Kanye West was in the ascendancy in the rap game, a genre still dominated by the “gangster persona” In the run up to his third album ‘Graduation’, it was slated to have the same release date as 50 Cent’s third album ‘Curtis’ (50 Cent being the biggest gangster rapper of that era) 50 Cent declared that if Kanye West’s Graduation outsold him in the first week, he would retire. Well both albums were released, and Graduation comfortably outsold Curtis. In hip hop this is considered a major shifting moment, from the ‘gangster rap’ era (50 Cent, Ja Rule, DMX etc) to more ‘regular’ guys dominating the genre going forward (Kanye West, Drake, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar etc)
I'm not surprised that Craig has become such a big fan of both Kanye & Frank Ocean after hearing him mention/reference the likes of Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Jeff Buckley, Steely Dan, Portishead etc during your reactions because that shows he clearly has a deep love and knowledge of music and those two are up there with the very best artists to ever exist.
Your dad got it lol Jamie Foxx actually played in Ray Charles biopic and played him perfectly! Award winning performance and the song he covers in the song is I got a woman by Ray Charles. Keep it up guys!
don't know if someone already said this but the genius that co-produced this album is none other than Jon Brion, who you're actually already familiar with since he did the finishing touches on Circles by Mac Miller after he passed, what a brilliant producer
The reaction I've been waiting for. The good part about Kanye albums is that all of them are so different yet amazing in their own way. Gonna watch the reaction now, hope you enjoyed it. Side note: MBDTF was released in 2010.
Don’t worry about the ranking list you saw, it’s known in the Ye community that everyone’s lists are different and any album can be the best. I personally have Late Registration as my favourite
Absolutely buzzing to see this lads. Can’t wait to watch this.. I appreciate you checking out the musical genius that is Ye! Forget everyone else’s opinions and let the music do the talking!!
35:36 couldnt agree more. Back when i was in highschool and started to actually get into music aside from just radio hits i was blown away by albums like this that had music that i just didnt even know couldve existed. Love ur pops picking up on the samples to and knowing some of the backstories and such. Yall got something good going on here keep it up !
This was the album where it was confirmed coming off of Collegd Dropout.. Kanye did the impossible, dropped an album that was either more or equally impressive
I know you guys liked Tame Impala's "Currents", so if you would like to check another of his albums i would definitely listen to "The Slow Rush". I can't recommend it enough.🤩
Another great video! Hope you guys are excited for JID; he won't let you down. Just a little bit of info: he's part of J Cole's record label and also was good friends with Mac Miller. He is actually older than most people think, and started rapping seriously after getting kicked out of college for his involvement in a robbery. Lastly i would recommend using genius for all of your videos, they tell you who is performing each part of the song, for example in the Lets Start Here video you wouldve seen all the female vocalists etc. Much love!
You mentioned in the video how you’ve been critiqued for liking almost everything you’ve listened to in your videos. In my opinion I think that’s great. At times we get stuck in finding the flaws of a song/album instead of enjoying the art of creation. Keep up the good work!
Gone will grow on you. The last Kanye verse is incredible. Also, the 3rd verse from Consequence is pretty cool because if read the lyrics, he uses the word gone in basically ever bar. It’s a cool song about Kanye’s come up as an artist and becoming a bit disillusioned with the industry as he got some clout. I guarantee you the first half will start to grow on you a bit though
Jamie Foxx's part on Gold Digger was actually a cover of Ray Charles' song I Got Woman. And if you remember, during this time Jamie just came off of doing the Ray Charles biopic "Ray" 🤝🏿
Please dont skip the Cruel Summer and Watch The Throne Albums when you get to it. Cruel Summer isn't the greatest but still good imo and part of the journey
Your dad is spot on! It's not a sample but Jamie Foxx is singing (basically covering) some of Ray Charles lyrics and melodies from I Got A Woman. Unfun fact, the original is fairly misogynistic and Kanye made it a little less misogynistic lol.
Great reaction! I noticed that you guys haven't listened to Tyler the creator, i think it's time to fix that with "Wolf". One of his best albums, great production and lyrics, can't wait to see!
This is how I would rank Kanye's albums: 1. Yeezus 2. MBDTF 3. 808s 4. The College Dropout 5. TLOP 6. Graduation 7. Late Registration 8. Donda 9. Ye 10. Jesus is King Collab albums are all fire too. Watch The Throne, Kids See Ghosts, Vultures.
Enjoyed the reaction just felt like your dad talks over the lyrics a bit too much at times during the verses and things are being missed when that happens.
@TwistTheScript Late reply but feel free to talk as much as you want. I think we just want you to not miss any lyrics! Don't be afraid to pause and rewind
Was close to spitting it out …. Craig (Dad) makes them too strong. It was like pure cordial !!! I had to edit that part out !!!! Went and topped up with water 🤣
Please stop having conversations during verses. You missed a lot of good lines because you were talking and it ruins the enjoyment..good times to talk would be before the track, during the repeated chorus, during a beat break, and after the song.

Your dad is great at picking up the samples! One of the best parts of Kanye records and production
Yeah he does seem to have an ear for them. He is on a bit of a roll ATM 👍
Can’t wait to watch this, Kanye’s best work in my opinion
what you just said was unbelievably valid 🗣️
His best album !!

Really realising how good he is the more we listen to him. Can’t wait for his next one. Graduation 👨🎓
13:48 Nice catch there, Craig! Kanye has mentioned that he’s a big fan of Portishead and that a lot of the album’s sound was inspired by them
No way !!!! He is on a right roll at the minute is Craig 😂🤣 Your going to give him a big head !!!

It was mate your right. Think I said 2016 - My bad 🤣
Hey mama always chokes me up ❤️
I don’t think you realise how special it is to hear Kanyes albums for the first time
We major is one of the greatest songs of all time
Definitely one of the most underrated Kanye albums
There is a documentary on making of this album with all studio sessions. It quite amazing
My favourite ye album of all time. Can’t wait to watch
So glad they enjoyed addiction, honestly one of the most beautiful and raw ye songs. By far my favourite track.
Don’t worry about the ranking list you saw, it’s known in the Ye community that everyone’s lists are different and any album can be the best. I personally have Late Registration as my favourite
the three track run starting from diamonds is an all time run
Absolutely buzzing to see this lads. Can’t wait to watch this.. I appreciate you checking out the musical genius that is Ye! Forget everyone else’s opinions and let the music do the talking!!
good to see another one! make sure to hit the bonus tracks when you get to graduation
Will do 👍
Wow Pops is a legend for catching all the samples on the first listen. Impressive!!
W dad !!! He has such an insight very refreshing ❤
when you react to graduation, also listen to the bonus track Bittersweet poetry
Absolutely masterpiece 🙌🏻
I cant wait for you guys to react to his next album, Graduation. The perfect closer to the college series and one of the best albums ever.
We can make it better must be a regional release. I've actually never heard it before
I cant wait for 808s, his best imo
Can’t wait for it 👍

Been waiting for this one!
Let’s go been waiting for this 😊
I am fiending for your next video! 😂❤
Keep em coming lads, class stuff
This was the album where it was confirmed coming off of Collegd Dropout.. Kanye did the impossible, dropped an album that was either more or equally impressive

There is a band called men I trust they are so underrated and they have such a cool sound I think you might like them the best album is oncle jazz
Can't wait for the next one. My favorite of the trilogy
can't wait for you to experience the evolution in his discography
Can’t wait for Graduation next, I’ve heard really good things 👍
cant wait to see what you guys react to next

Day 1 asking for Earl Sweatshirt “I don’t like shit I don’t go outside” reaction

Really 🤔 that’s cool 👍 thanks for that 😉
Legit as I finished another one of your videos and subscribed, I'm SOOOO glad
Hahaha. Crazy timing 😜
Thats interesting. I like the second half of this album way better than the first.
Cant wait till yall get to my fav album from him
Coming Soon 👌
Jamie Foxx's part on Gold Digger was actually a cover of Ray Charles' song I Got Woman. And if you remember, during this time Jamie just came off of doing the Ray Charles biopic "Ray" 🤝🏿
Ahhhhhh you’re right he did. 👌
@@TwistTheScriptkanye got the idea for the song after watching ray
Shorty wanna be a thugs is the drive slow sample Tupac’s song.
Graduation next 🙏
Can’t wait for it 👍
If we ever could fit in some Pusha T, that would be keen
Roses is beautiful
AS SOON AS I GET BACK FROM WORK LET'S GOOOO 🔥🤝🏼
Please dont skip the Cruel Summer and Watch The Throne Albums when you get to it. Cruel Summer isn't the greatest but still good imo and part of the journey
Yall got to start with Travis Scott
Hey! will you be doing the rest of the Ye albums as well? I'd really love to see how you guys find those, Cheers from Toronto!
Yes we are going through his discography from the start 👍 ❤️
Your dad is spot on! It's not a sample but Jamie Foxx is singing (basically covering) some of Ray Charles lyrics and melodies from I Got A Woman. Unfun fact, the original is fairly misogynistic and Kanye made it a little less misogynistic lol.
Dad is on a massive roll ATM getting all these sample correct 😂 Thanks for the insight 👍
Great reaction! I noticed that you guys haven't listened to Tyler the creator, i think it's time to fix that with "Wolf". One of his best albums, great production and lyrics, can't wait to see!
Fantastic stuff as usual gents
Much appreciated. Really enjoyed doing it 😃
Graduation by Kanye 🙏
if you would ever like to listen to some u.k rap id highly suggest ‘Greatest Hits’ - Skepta, great video i love kanye love this channel
What the hell, i dont have "we can make it better" in my spotify 😭
Someone else mentioned it could have been a regional release 🤔
@@TwistTheScript yeah just looked it up it was for Australia and Japan only
You gotta do Graduation next 🎉
Yes, Kanye was inspired by Dear Mama by Pac when making Hey Mama
I knew he had to be. I mean who wouldn’t be inspired by that track 👌
Man this Kanye era was something special!
I know we was VERY late to the party 😂🤣
Cant fuckin wait till you guys get to Yeezus lol

1. Yeezus
2. MBDTF
3. 808s
4. The College Dropout
5. TLOP
6. Graduation
7. Late Registration
8. Donda
9. Ye
10. Jesus is King
Collab albums are all fire too. Watch The Throne, Kids See Ghosts, Vultures.
Glad we have loads more to get through. Will do a top 10 ourself when we have done them all 👍👍
Nunca dejen cocinar denuevo al hermano💀
@@TwistTheScriptthe thing about Kanye is everybody’s top 10 is different because of how different each album sounds.
do Graduation next !
I’ll forever prefer the Kanye only version of diamonds from Sierra Leone over the jay z one he was rapping his a$$ off
guys please can you do some classic hip hop listen to GZA - Liquid Swords
Man on the moon by Kid cudi is a classic
KC defo on our list 👍❤️ in near future
When are yall doing Graduation?
Just dropped it out there 👍😉❤️ enjoy 😉
I like you guys are more into the production but try listen and dissect the lyrics too as well.
when is rodeo coming🙏
Soon…. I really want to get on to TS. Defo soon 👍
Enjoyed the reaction just felt like your dad talks over the lyrics a bit too much at times during the verses and things are being missed when that happens.

U should react to James Blake friends that break your heart too good not to recommend🙌
We got JB on our list 👍 hopefully get around to it in near future … thanks for your suggestion 👍
react to mozart
I like how they have the same drink😂
Was close to spitting it out …. Craig (Dad) makes them too strong. It was like pure cordial !!! I had to edit that part out !!!! Went and topped up with water 🤣
Drive slow has same sample as Shorty wanna be a thug by Pac yhhhh
Your spot on I checked it straight after 🤣
Please react to yeezus
pls listen to ultraviolence by Lana del rey
On our list for near future 👍❤️
can't waitttt, also fun fact a few of the songs on the album were recorded in one take @@TwistTheScript
Can you guys talk a lil less over the lyrics and try to analyze them as well
Personally Kanye best is Yeezus
have you heard tyler the creator - cal me if you get lost
No. Just the IGOR album so far. On our list to do. Guessing it’s good? 👍
@@TwistTheScript not good, amazing

Chill out
Chill bruh. So what if they miss a lyric. Is it the end of the world. Most of us are here for the production and sound. That’s what they’re analyzing.
Let them do whatever they want lol
